I was Swept Away

I was browsing through Julius' large collection of mp3 when I came across this song by Christopher Cross. It is entitled "Swept Away", truly I was swept away by the song. The melody and the lyrics are just so beautiful... it has been in my playlist since Monday and it's playing non stop. It has officially landed on the list of my all-time favorite song... it sits right next to Waiting In Vain. =)

The lyrics is familiar though, but until now I still can't remember where, when or how... well maybe I was swept away in my past life and maybe it's true that the heart remembers what the mind forgets.. hehehe =)

Love at first sight, butterflies in the stomach, fireworks and whirlwind romance.. ah! the things that make up what they call the MAGIC of love which makes jumping on the loveboat more exciting than bunjee jumping.

I never believed in these things, or to rephrase it, I chose not to believe on these things... but I know they exist. They may call it MAGIC but the mark it will leave in your life, once it is over is so real. The MAGIC becomes a beautiful phantom that will continue to haunt you.

That's why I just content myself on listening to its song because it is safer to be spellbound by a song that you know when it ends.

But well, one hard part of that magic is you'll never know if it's around the bend. ;)

Swept Away by Christopher Cross

I never had anything happen so fast

I took one look and I shattered like glass
I guess I let it show
'cause your smile told me you knew
That you're everything I ever wanted at once
There's no holding this heart when it knows what it wants
And I never wanted anything more than to know you

I was swept away
No one in the world but you and I
Gotta find a way to make you feel the way that I do
I was swept awayWithout a warning
Like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away

And so it begins
This journey of love
The summer wind carries us to places all our own
The words of a look
The language of touch
The way that you want me means so much
And I never wanted anything more than to love you

Seeing my tomorrows in your eyes
I was swept away

I hope I wake up soon
I'm a victim of that crazy moon

The very first time you said my name
I knew it would never sound the same
Something about me is changed forever
